Homeworld Remastered Collection finds another home in GOG

If you’ve been desperate to play Homeworld Remastered Collection but have been waiting for a DRM-free version, then good news: the updated strategy classic is now available over at GOG, and it’s launched with a 50% discount, to boot.

When I looked at how good a job Gearbox did in remastering Homeworld, I was pretty impressed. The Remastered Collection is like playing Homeworld for the first time again, and it looks and sounds just like I remember, which is to say that it looks gorgeous and thoroughly modern.

Here’s what you get with the Remastered version:

Build and battle with more than 100 space ships

Updated high-res textures and models

New graphical effects

Support for HD, UHD, and 4K resolutions

New audio mix using original source effects and music

Cinematic scenes recreated in beautiful high fidelity by original artists

Mod support and mod tools

Bonus archival versions of Homeworld Classic and Homeworld 2 classic, preserving the purest form of the original releases with compatibility for modern operating systems

Access to Homeworld Remastered GOG Multiplayer: play Homeworld races against Homeworld 2 races with up to eight players on 23 maps, plus brand new game modes

The prequel, Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak, is also brilliant, and well worth a look if you can’t get enough of the universe. Despite being set on the ground rather than space, it manages to capture everything that was great about its predecessors.
